Chapter 1109: Cannibalism

The invisible Yuanshen mechanical warrior used its own holographic projection equipment to seduce the sky-level black shadow to another battlefield. Just this point proves a lot of problems. The first is that Sombra’s intelligence is really not high, the second is that Sombra cannot see through the invisibility technology, and the third is that Sombra will react to the light and shadow moving in the line of sight.

The fact that Sombra's intelligence is not high is actually not a surprising thing. Whoever says that strong must be extremely intelligent. You know, this black shadow is actually similar to a resentful ghost, a spiritual energy body without the protection of a physical body. Without the protection of the physical body, it means that its own energy body will directly contact with various energies from the outside world, and will naturally be disturbed.

Of course, the energy body also has that kind of wisdom, such as the ghost cultivator in the world of Taoism. However, ghost cultivators often have to turn to ghost practice because they have lost their physical bodies and do not want to reincarnate to recultivate. The cultivation of the ghost way is not like those wraiths and fierce ghosts, who simply rely on devouring miscellaneous energies to strengthen themselves, but really have a set of cultivation theory. To put it bluntly, ghost cultivators are also cultivators of the Dao, and they also take the Dao as their foundation. There are many solutions to their own situation.

This black shadow in the nether world does not have the theory of cultivating Taoism in this world, and it is even less likely for the dead souls to create a ghost way. In the Netherworld, they constantly devour other energies actively or passively, and are constantly eroded and affected by other energies, and that bit of true spirit has long been wiped out. It can be said that they are like the ghost version of the walking dead. Even if they have powerful energy, they will only use it instinctively.

Then, about the inability to see through invisibility. You must know that the invisibility device that Ye Zan equips Yuanshen Mechanical Warrior is not just the kind of optical invisibility, but can shield the mind to a certain extent. The black shadow itself doesn't have much intelligence, so it is naturally impossible to have more means to detect the surrounding situation. Therefore, in the face of the invisible Yuanshen mechanical warrior, it is a matter of course that it cannot see through it.

However, don't think that you can be invisible, just think about close-up assassination and the like. With the strength of those black shadows, even the self-destruction of the Yuanshen Mechanical Warrior cannot cause particularly serious damage to the opponent. It is impossible for Ye Zan to use all the soul mechanical warriors in his hand as self-exploding bombs, and there are not so many of them.

The seduction of the black shadow by the holographic image shows that the way the black shadow observes the surroundings should largely rely on "light and shadow feedback", or it can also be said to be "vision". It's just that the "visual" ability of Sombra is definitely different from that of normal people, at least there is a big difference in the sensitivity to light, and the principle is definitely different. After all, the Netherworld is so dark that it is difficult for ordinary people to see clearly in it, and the black shadows do not have eyes like the physical body.

All in all, regardless of whether the information is useful or not, Ye Zan has learned about those shadows, at least because of this little incident.

Looking at the screen on the display screen again, the seduced black shadow was chasing the holographic image all the way,

Soon they arrived near the battlefield where the fierce battle was taking place. The battle over there was quite fierce, with powerful forces constantly battling against each other, as if half of the sky was illuminated, and the continuous roar resounded through the sky like rolling thunder.

Don't look at the previous black shadow that has been weakened a lot, and the Queen of Blades has been strengthened to a certain extent, but after all, there is a huge gap between the two sides, and it is not so easy to be smoothed out. And there is another point, that is, during the battle, the black figure seems to be constantly attracting energy from the surrounding space, and the body like a torn rag is gradually recovering.

Faced with the movement from the other side of the battlefield, the black shadow who was seduced by the holographic image immediately abandoned the holographic image in front of him and turned his attention to the battlefield. After all, even from the perspective of sound and light effects, a mere holographic image cannot be compared with the fierce fighting battlefield over there.

"Brother Ye, that black shadow has rushed over, isn't it to join forces with the same kind!" After seeing the black shadow that was seduced, he suddenly sped towards the battlefield, Lin Mumu said nervously. Although, he also knew in his heart that those Zerg Dao soldiers were used as cannon fodder, but he didn't want to see them wiped out.

"It seems...wrong! It doesn't seem to be heading towards the Taoist soldiers!" Ye Zan originally thought that the two shadows were going to join forces, but when he saw the direction of the shadow flying behind him , but found that it was different from what I expected.

Originally, Ye Zan and Lin Mumu saw from the monitor when the distance was still a little farther away, that the black figure behind was rushing towards the battlefield. However, the closer the black shadow got to the battlefield, the more obvious its real target was, and its target was actually one of its kind.

Seeing the last black shadow, like a black lightning, it inserted into the battlefield in an instant, ignoring the Queen of Blades at all, but going straight to the previous black shadow. And the previous black shadow, seeing his own kind arrived, didn't have the slightest sense of joy, but seemed a little flustered, and turned around and ran away.

No matter how the previous black shadow recovers, after all, it was weakened a lot before. It is not a disadvantage against the Queen of Blades, but it is too far behind when it meets the same kind in its prime. As soon as it turned around on the other side, the last black shadow had come to it, and it directly stretched out its hands to grab it, just like an eagle catching a rabbit. Facing the attack of the same kind, he probably felt that he could not escape, so he had to turn around and hastily parry.

So, the two black shadows just started to do it in mid-air, leaving the Queen of Blades aside.

"What's the situation? How can they kill each other?" Lin Mumu said in surprise.

"This...cannibalism is probably a way for them to strengthen themselves." Ye Zan said speculatively.

In fact, such situations are not uncommon. For example, those evil spirits in the black prison also rely on cannibalism to improve their own strength. It's just that when they are raised to a certain level, they will gradually open up part of their intelligence, and they will no longer completely follow their instincts to do things.

Of course, after reaching a certain level, those yin and evil spirits only know how to judge the situation, and they are not completely immune to cannibalism. If they encounter someone of the same kind that is weaker than themselves, and they judge that they will not pay too much, they will still devour the same kind to strengthen themselves.

Therefore, compared with those evil spirits, the behavior of these shadows is not surprising. The only strange thing is that their strength has reached the heavenly level, but they still haven't activated their intelligence. And this point probably has something to do with the level of this world. After all, this is just a small world in the world of cultivation. Regardless of where the source of power in this small world comes from, it is a secondary world compared to the world of cultivation.

"In this way, wouldn't it be possible for that black shadow of the sky-reaching level to swallow another black shadow of the sky-reaching level..." Lin Mumu immediately had a bad idea after hearing Ye Zan's words.

That black shadow is only the strength of the heaven-level, which is already very difficult for Ye Zan and the others. If these two heaven-level people are combined into one, it will be even more difficult to deal with! Although Lin Mumu also knew that the addition of the Tongtian level and the Tongtian level would not equal the Earth Immortal level, but it must be stronger than the original Tongtian level.

"It's not that exaggerated!" Ye Zan shook his head, magnified the image on a display screen several times, pointed to the screen inside and said, "Look here, the black shadow coming from behind is not trying to devour it blindly." The power of a companion, but... it seems to be looking for something in the opponent's body."

Sure enough, as Ye Zan said, in the screen of that screen, one can see that the subsequent black shadow seems to be tearing the previous black shadow. From the enlarged picture, it can be seen that as the later black shadow claws fell, pieces of black debris scattered around.

Those black fragments are obviously the power of Sombra, after all, Sombra is a pure energy body. If that black shadow wanted to devour its own kind, it should devour those black fragments instead of randomly scattering them around. Those scattered black fragments did not return to the main body, nor were they swallowed by the latecomers, but quickly dissipated in the space, obviously being discarded.

Therefore, in Ye Zan's guess, although the black shadow wants to devour the same kind, the target should not be the energy of the same kind, but the core of the same kind of body. After all, for the energy body to be able to condense together, there must be such a core, just like a ghost needs a true spirit or obsession.

As time went by, in about a few minutes, the previously weakened shadow was finally torn into pieces by the latter shadow. At the same time, a bright spot of light also floated out from the torn black shadow, and immediately accelerated to escape from here.

However, how could the cannibalistic victor escape from seeing the benefits he got? Seeing that black shadow leaping forward suddenly, he grabbed the light spot in his palm, and then slapped it into his body. Sure enough, just as Ye Zan guessed, the reason why the black shadows cannibalized each other was because of such a core-like existence.

"What... will this change!" Lin Mumu looked at the display screen and couldn't help but wondered.

It stands to reason that the black shadow is already at the heavenly level, let alone in this small world, even if it is placed outside in the world of cultivation, it is impossible to make any breakthroughs. Therefore, what effect the core that Sombra plundered from the same kind would have on itself was something that Lin Shumu and Ye Zan, who were watching, couldn't figure out.

"Heh...uh...hiss..." The black shadow that devoured the core of the same kind didn't take much time to digest, and changes appeared soon on its body. However, its change did not lie in its appearance and energy intensity, but it was beyond Ye Zan and Lin Mumu's expectations, and it roared towards the Queen of Blades.

You know, from the very beginning when they came into contact with those black shadows, Ye Zan and Lin Mumu didn't hear any roar from the black shadows, even if the Queen of Blades fought against the black shadows behind. During the fight between Sombra and the Queen of Blades, the only sound was the bursting roar of the two forces colliding continuously.

"This guy...couldn't be talking!" Lin Mumu said on a whim.

"It's really possible!" Ye Zan nodded in agreement, rubbed his chin and said, "Perhaps, it devours the core of the same kind, and the only effect is to improve the spiritual intelligence."

Language is one of the symbols of wisdom, and roaring is the basic form of language. By summarizing the rules of roaring with different tones and tones, language is born. In the most primitive period, when human beings had no language or written language, they pointed at something and yelled out a special tone. After this tone became a consensus, it became a word to describe this thing.

Although beasts do not have a standardized language like humans, they can still express what they are expressing to their peers by roaring. This can actually be called a language. It's just that wild beasts don't summarize the laws like humans, and they don't sit down to reach any consensus on this. They only express their meaning through the emotions in the roar, but they still need the intermediary of roar.

Therefore, the black shadow, which could not make a sound at all, suddenly roared after devouring the core of its companion. This is very likely because the other party's spiritual intelligence has grown, at least he knows how to express his emotions through roaring, and maybe he can really speak if he goes a step further.

"It's a pity that I didn't get that core, otherwise I can study it further." Ye Zan said with some regret. But now, facing a black shadow in full bloom, and the opponent may have grown a little bit of intelligence, it is impossible to take down the opponent with only Zerg Dao soldiers.

"What should we do with those bugs, why don't we let them withdraw." Lin Mumu was quite soft-hearted, a little bit reluctant to let those Zerg Dao soldiers really become cannon fodder.

"Well, let's see if the black shadows will let them retreat." Ye Zan nodded, and gave the brain worm over there an order to retreat. He wasn't soft-hearted, it's just that those Zerg Dao soldiers didn't have the meaning of being cannon fodder. After all, even if they fought against that black shadow, it was impossible to get more information from him.

Therefore, under Ye Zan's instruction, although the Zerg Dao soldiers did not disperse, they did not show any attack intention to the shadow, but moved slowly towards the whirlpool. And as the Zerg Taoist soldiers moved, the condensed phantom of the Queen of Blades naturally moved along with it, moving away from the shadow little by little.

However, seeing that the Queen of Blades was about to run, the black shadow suddenly exploded, and chased after the Queen of Blades. This is a black shadow in full condition, not the one that has been weakened many times before, and it only jumped to the Queen of Blades in an instant, and slapped her with a palm.
